Meaning of American Pie by Don McLean
Brace yourself for this trip ....
Although Don McClean only released the song in 1971,
for those of us who
grew up in the 50’s and 60’s
this is a great piece with some very poignant
moments
in the history of those times.
And for those of you who did not,
it’s a taste of what you missed.
"American Pie" was the name of the plane
in which Buddy Holly,
Richie Valens and The Big Bopper
were killed when it crashed in 1958 –
and I
knew the chorus about music dying on that day.
I have listened to
American Pie for many years
and I thought I understood what was being sung
but
now realize that I didn’t.
However, when the words are put together
with
pictures and film clips the song takes on a new meaning.
It took a lot of
thought to produce this
and it brings back lots of memories
and also makes the lyrics
really come alive!
PS. The lyrics are available as subtitles.
